超越以人类为中心的护理关系揭示了人类和非人类实体之间微妙的相互依赖程度。对这些异质相互关系的关注揭示了不同参与者（包括人类、物体和环境等）之间微妙而发自内心的情感强度。图形医学的跨学科领域通过喜剧的可供性突出了这些纠葛，挑战了护理只属于人类规模的主导观念。本文分析了布莱恩·菲斯 (Brian Fies) 的《妈妈的癌症》、莎拉·利维特 (Sarah Leavitt) 的《缠结》和乔伊斯·法默 (Joyce Farmer) 的《特殊出口》等图形医学叙事中的精选部分，以说明物体如何成为人类在疾病期间的护理来源，从而成为护理对象。此外，本文利用漫画的可供性，探讨了上述图形叙事的选定部分如何描绘受害者和物体之间经常被忽视/忽视的情感纠葛。为此，本文强调了护理背景下人类和非人类实体之间的相互关联性。© 作者（或其雇主）2024。禁止商业重复使用。请参阅权利和权限。由英国医学杂志出版。

Looking beyond anthropocentric care relationships reveals nuanced levels of interdependence among human and non-human entities. Attention to these heterogeneous inter-relationships illuminates the subtle and visceral affective intensities among diverse participants, including humans, objects and the environment, among others. The interdisciplinary field of graphic medicine foregrounds these entanglements through comic affordances, challenging the predominant notion that care belongs only at the scale of human beings. This article analyses selected sections from graphic medical narratives such as Brian Fies's Mom's Cancer, Sarah Leavitt's Tangles and Joyce Farmer's Special Exits to illustrate how objects become a source of care for humans during illness, thus becoming care objects. Furthermore, using the affordances of comics, this essay examines, how the selected sections of the abovementioned graphic narratives portray the often unnoticed/overlooked affective entanglement between the sufferers and objects. In doing so, this article underscores the inter-relatedness between humans and non-human entities within the context of caregiving.© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024. No commercial re-use.
